Boss: Music Review

So I had downloaded the songs of Boss like a week ago, but they lay there dormant in my hard disc as I was too occupied in studies and also in preparing for a competition. While chilling out a bit in college, I and my friend went to YouTube to check out some of the competition related videos, and the small thumbnails at the side caught my attention.

The work lay at the side, and we went on to see several movie trailers including Boss, Besharam, and Dhoom 3. We did reach to our early opinions of the films, but what attracted me was the one of the songs in the trailer of Boss.

On reaching home, I rushed to listen to all of the songs of Boss and I was surprised. Starring Akshay Kumar, the trailer does give me a faint idea that this film is a dhamaal film, with stunts which would never happen ever in real-life. And that gave me hint of the type of music I was in. But...

The name Arijit Singh attracted me first to the song ‘Har Kisi Ko” which has been adapted from the song from Jaanbaaz, whose music directors were the legendary Kalyanji Anandji. There are two versions of the same song, with different singers, but the tune remains the same and so does the music.

Next was the song which my friend had mentioned to me while seeing the trailer: “Hum Na Tode”. Now that song is another adaptation from a Tamil song which everyone must be familiar with, Apdi Pode Pode. Sung by Vishal Dadlani, this new song does feature on the exact tune of the Tamil song.

The other song which interested me was “Party All Night”. Punctuated by Yo Yo Honey Singh’s rap, the song uses some words which would rather not be taken here (you can read up the lyrics via Google.com). A good tune, and fast beats do seem good to me, and I guess it will take the teen audience completely.

The other songs of the album seemed pretty good as well, and they are the title track, which is sung by Yo Yo Honey Singh, and “Pitah Se Hai Tera Naam”, which is sung by Sonu Nigam. The common singers in both these songs are the trio of Meet Bros Anjjan and they do well as well.

In my opinion, this album is a good past time and you could enjoy it for a week. Well, that’s what I think, and this opinion is based on the albums coming up, like Krrish 3. Hope to come back with a review on that as well.

Songs of Satyagraha- My Review

Music has always played a major part in my life. It has been with me in my happy, sad, angry, devastated, irritated, and all of the moments people have in their lives. The music of this year started off with the big hit of Aashiqui 2 (which is the only album I can recollect :P) and now my playlist has songs from movies like Lootera, and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as well (not the whole album, but just some select songs).

The songs of D-Day did well for me as well, with vocals from Rahul Ram, and another reproduction of the impressive ‘Duma Dum Mast Kalandar’ by Abida Parveen; whereas the music of Once Upon A Time Dobaara failed to impress me that much.

But the latest entrant in my playlist is the album ‘Satyagraha’. A mere ruse made me download the album, and a long wait for a bus at the bus stop engrossed me to listen to this album. Well, the result was shocking. A movie based on a topic involving corruption, the songs are absolutely matching the theme.

Well, to be frank, the songs are fun. The lyrics do make you laugh at times, especially in the song ‘Janta Rocks’; and the tunes of all the songs are sticking. You cannot do better than humming the tunes during the day (I have been doing it during my exams). Rahul Ram again uses his vocals in ‘Hum Bhole The’ and stirs up the blood.

On the whole, this album is good to hear, and puts the theme of the film in full display with the use of ironic and satirical lyrics which sum up the condition of the whole nation at this point.

Now downloaded the songs of Madras Café, starring John Abraham, Ayushmann Khurana, and Nargis Fakhri. Will put up a review if something in it clicks me. ;)

PS: This is my first try at reviewing a musical subject. Please put down your comments at the bottom of the page; that will be appreciated. Do listen to the music and comment! :)
